This is another abhorrent example of how defunct this website is. Instead of taking the initiative to single out said reblog because it more than likely was a p*rn bot set to automatically go through a popular tag and randomly pull posts from there to reblog and then attach a link to its shitty p*rn site, instead Tumblr places the responsibility for us, the original posters, to have to sift through THOUSANDS of notes.
Granted, they’ve streamlined it so make it easier to actually seen when someone replies and reblogs with a comment (however, the only way to look at tags is either with a secondary function like Xkit or one of Tumblr’s forever is beta functions)
… But THEN what are we supposed to do? Report that specific post? To WHAT avail when this website has a crappy bot that CAN’T and NEVER WILL understand what looks suspiciously like p*rn and what is just a picture of a puppy. It can’t. Fuck you Tumblr for being so damn lazy you can’t even for one minute consider moderators that could just look with actual human eyes and see whether the content is real or NOT.
Tumblr has been choking out content creators more and more as they try to come with hackjob attempts to get rid of the p*rn bots without ever having to so much as actually look at them with their own eyes. They already took away the ability to make a post searchable when you include a non-tumblr affiliated links. Even when I tried to complicatedly bypass the system, my posts STILL did not show up in a publicly searched tag.
Now they’ve banned p*rn all together, which wasn’t going to and still hasn’t stopped the p*rn bots. And especially since they didn’t really actually ban the p*rn, they just flag that stuff.
But then you’re gonna tell me so long as you add #sfw to a post, it automatically is cleared? That sounds great for those who do create SFW content, but do you not realize how easily abusable that is by a robot told to add a list of tags to anything it reblogs/posts?
There’s no winning with this website. Everyone just loses. Glad the app has like bad ratings, it’s what it deserves.
